Off with old on with the new.

Post by mac99d »

Well after 7+ years I finally bought some new rims and tires. I was rolling on 19 inch axis spider’s with hankook EVO V12. Very nice rims but after years of abuse and the wife curbing them a couple times (I am not going to lie I did one time and it was the worst one. What can I say I do it big.) they are tired. Now I am rolling on 18 inch koing lighting's with hankook RS3.The oldThe new

Rims look good, but like myself the calipers need a coat of paint on them now.

Looks good. Love that deep chrome lip. Did you use spacers with the older wheels?

no spacers with the old one's, but they needed it. I just couldnt take how much the rear ties need to be spaced out any more.Quote, originally posted by keithvibe »Rims look good, but like myself the calipers need a coat of paint on them now.I agree on the calipers.
